Install and Load Libraries
Write in each line below into the console then hit enter
You have to write these in, you can’t copy and paste these.
install.packages(“aRtsy”)
Each install will take time to run, so wait until the red stop sign in the corner disappears
Load the packages
Once you finish installing, copy and paste this code below into the console and hit enter
Here is the fun part
Pick any one of the code chunks below (i.e., Collatz conjecture, Fractal flames, or Rainbow smoke), copy and paste it into the console.
Tip
You can simply edit the value inside the set.seed(this number here) and hit enter. Although there are other options to. Feel free to explore.
Collatz conjecture
set.seed(1) # place any number between the ( )
canvas_collatz(colors = colorPalette("tuscany3"),
n = 700, # a positive integer, adds more density or lines, computational dependent though (keep under 1000)
side = FALSE) # If this is true it will flip to side
Fractal flames
set.seed(1) # place any number between the ( )
canvas_flame(colors = colorPalette("dark2"),
iterations = 1000000, # Using more iterations results in images of higher quality but also increases the computation time
symmetry = 0,
blend = TRUE,
resolution = 1000, # resolution of the artwork in pixels per row/column
gamma = 5 # Larger values here make the image brighter
)
Rainbow smoke
set.seed(1) # place any number between the ( )
canvas_smoke(colors = colorPalette("random", 1024),
init = 1,
resolution = 150, # Increasing this, increases the quality of the artwork but also increases the computation time
shape = "cloud" # can also try "smoke"
)
Submit
Once you have created your artwork, submit it on canvas. The best artwork will have it posted as an annocement so the entire class can see.
